(135,425 posts)Look, you don't ask the janitor to do open heart surgery. Was the idea to "camp with the homeless" or was the idea to embark upon a course of activism to change the world?
You want to feed the hungry, fine--set up a program that does that. You want to house the homeless? Same deal. Do it professionally, with focus, purpose and in a sustainable fashion. Where are those people now? Back under a bridge, or back in the alley? That little camp-out was a temporary measure that didn't "help the homeless" at all.
You're again showing us why it didn't work. Too much time spent on playing house in campgrounds, fighting with the police about where to poop and getting mad that ordinances forbade little playhouse "kitchens," and not enough focus on what was truly important.
Doomed...doomed by attention to bullshit, instead of attention to detail.
A shame, too--all that energy, dissipated by a whole load of .... spinning.
The concept? Great. The execution? Sucked.
